Vacuum lifter works in small footprint

The E4000M16 lifter incorporates all-welded steel construction with double spring suspensions that equally force each of the eight square vacuum pads onto the load and accommodates variations in the load surface. Featuring a 40,000-lb. capacity with an 8-ft. by 10-ft. footprint, the lifter has remote controls that can be fully integrated with an overhead crane.

Equipped with a 78-CFM pump, motors, reservoir tanks, and an audiovisual alarm system, the lifter has a safety interlock switch that prevents the release of a load until the lifter has been lowered completely. Each suction pad can be controlled individually to correspond with the load configuration.
